The above is a search query which Google Chrome has included a geolocation parameter with, does anyone have experience in using this with SERP SPIDER to fake a location during searches ?

Hi @LunarDevelopment What is your actual issue with this?

LunarDevelopment commented 6 years ago

Just a question / discussion, not an issue.

Though if it's possible to fake locations using search params like the above or even "near=location" then it could be a feature request I suppose.

gsouf commented 6 years ago

I'm not using fake location, but as far as I know I think that now google gives more importance to your ip location instead of the params in the url.

Seems pretty close to faking location by setting gs_l param (unfortunately you need to get your hands on a string from the location you want to fake)

Easy to set : $url->setParam('gs_l', 'psy-ab.3...blah.blah.blah');
